Catalina Schliebener is a New York based, Chilean born artist. Their mixed media work lives in paper collages, site-specific installations and murals.
Childhood is the first layer of meaning that forms around Catalina's practice. But their work is not just about childhood, rather they uses it to explore the concepts of gender, sexuality and class. Informed by their upbringing in a left wing politicized household during Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile, their life as an immigrant, Queer theory, a Philosophy degree, a job in early childhood education and their path to find their own identity, Catalina’s work is extremely personal, blending childhood’s playful spirit with a deeper introspective approach that makes us reflect in our own lives and experiences.
